Cooling fans failed

Whats going on Del. Man i always loved the looks of the perma cools. i want!

But glad your moving over to the Flexalite club. I love mine, and there is a write up on here somewhere. Model number 280.. But throw up some pictures of the sexy motor when your down doing the swap.

I dont have any complaints on the flexs. Very quiet operation and smooth. Those blades do hurt by the way. lol Had it start on me when i was trying to adjust the fan settings ahha

So which flexalite are you going with? Did you notice the a/c blew colder once you installed the electric fan?

I’m going with the flex-a-lite 280.

My A/C has always been ice cold, so the electric fans made no difference that I could sense. I went to electric fans, because the new water pump I was using spins the opposite direction from the stock pump, so I would have had to find a fan made to run backwards. It just seemed easier at the time to go with electric fans.

Stresst, the flexalite model for our SUV's is #280

Hey Adam, your interior work is awesome. I had some questions about this fan deal, but realized I lost your email address when I had a computer problem a few weeks back.

Shoot me an email when you have time, so I can catch that address again. We were getting ready for a session at the drag strip, so I’m glad this fan problem made itself known now. Drag strip activities tend to make more heat than just wandering around the neighborhood. Lol

I do like the way the Perma-cool frames the fans. Maybe I can mount the Flex-a-lite setup on the perma cool sheet metal. I will wait till I get it spread out on the bench, and then see what fits with what.

Seems like good advice to keep the fingers away from the spinning fan blades……………

Haha! ill shoot you one tonight Del. Thanks for the interior comment. Its coming along.

The flexalites are a great fan, but i can go away with the black plastic molded ABS or whatever it is. I like the look of the permas better. have fun! Where did you end up buying them from??

I just ordered them from Summit. UPS ground, so it will probably be the middle of next week before I see them.

I’m putting off the water pump. The only time is dribbles is when I get up around 7,000 rpm’s. The rest of the time it’s bone dry. It is such a major job to get down to the water pump on this engine, that I would prefer to leave it for the dead of winter, when there is nothing to do. I know I said that before, but I missed last winter with other things going on.

The video setup is nearing completion, so I will send you some pix’s via email…………..
